EMWaveNet: Physically Explainable Neural Network Based on Electromagnetic Propagation for SAR Target Recognition
- 基于电磁波传播物理机制设计可解释神经网络
- 在0dB噪声下准确率比传统模型高20%,60%遮挡仍领先9%
- 适合需要高可信度的军事、遥感等关键领域应用
深度学习显著提升了合成孔径雷达(SAR)图像目标识别性能,但其固有的“黑箱”特性导致决策过程不透明,难以在实际中推广。为此,本文提出一种基于微波传播物理过程的复数域可解释框架,利用SAR数据的幅度与相位信息及其内在物理属性。网络架构全参数化,所有可学习参数均有明确物理意义。在复数域MSTAR数据集和自建的Qilu-1数据集上验证了该框架的有效性。EMWaveNet具备出色的去重叠能力,能准确识别重叠目标类别,而其他模型几乎无法完成。在0dB森林背景噪声下,相比传统神经网络提升20%准确率;当目标被60%噪声遮挡时,仍比其他模型高出9%。构建了端到端的复数域SAR自动目标识别(SAR-ATR)算法,适用于干扰环境下的识别任务。结果表明,该方法具有强物理决策逻辑、高可解释性、鲁棒性及优异的去混叠能力。最后展望了未来应用场景。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning technologies have significantly improved performance in the field of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image target recognition compared to traditional methods. However, the inherent ``black box" property of deep learning models leads to a lack of transparency in decision-making processes, making them difficult to be widespread applied in practice. To tackle this issue, this study proposes a physically explainable framework for complex-valued SAR image recognition, designed based on the physical process of microwave propagation. This framework utilizes complex-valued SAR data to explore the amplitude and phase information and its intrinsic physical properties. The network architecture is fully parameterized, with all learnable parameters endowed with clear physical meanings. Experiments on both the complex-valued MSTAR dataset and a self-built Qilu-1 complex-valued dataset were conducted to validate the effectiveness of framework. The de-overlapping capability of EMWaveNet enables accurate recognition of overlapping target categories, whereas other models are nearly incapable of performing such recognition. Against 0dB forest background noise, it boasts a 20\% accuracy improvement over traditional neural networks. When targets are 60\% masked by noise, it still outperforms other models by 9\%. An end-to-end complex-valued synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition (SAR-ATR) algorithm is constructed to perform recognition tasks in interference SAR scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed method possesses a strong physical decision logic, high physical explainability and robustness, as well as excellent de-aliasing capabilities. Finally, a perspective on future applications is provided.
